Chapter 216 The Dead Are Best at Keeping Secrets
Will my parents stand by me?
My mother has always favored my elder sister, thinking that she is more suitable to marry into Prince An's Mansion than herself.
Even if my father is impartial, the matter has already been decided. How could he gamble the lives and future of everyone in the Xing family for the sake of his own justice?
The most likely thing the father would do is to make the best of a bad situation and completely swap the lives of the two sisters.
From now on, she is no longer Xing Chuxue, but Xing Chuying.
"I won't accept this! Why should my life be stolen by others?"
Her eyes were red and her whole body was filled with anger.
Seeing her reaction like this, Lu Zhiran laughed instead.
If Xing Chuxue accepted her fate and accepted the schemes of others against her, Lu Zhiran would be disappointed and would reconsider whether to continue this friendship.
Xing Chuxue did not disappoint her.
"You want to take back everything that belongs to you, right?"
Xing Chuxue nodded vigorously. "I've been tolerant all this time, simply because I care about our sisterhood and don't want to be separated from my family. Little did I know that my tolerance would only make her even more aggressive. If I accept my fate today, I'll be dominated by her for the rest of my life."
Lu Zhiran was very happy with her clarity of mind. Tolerance could not bring peace, only strong counterattack and crushing could do that.
"I'm glad you think so. We've known each other for a long time, and I'll definitely help you get everything back."
Xing Chuxue wiped her face and wiped away her tears.
"But the bridal sedan has already left. They must have already been married and entered the bridal chamber. Is it too late now?"
An indescribable despair rose in Xing Chuxue's heart.
"It's not too late. As long as they haven't consummated their marriage, everything is still in time."
Lu Zhiran's firm tone instantly ignited Xing Chuxue's hope.
"Then, what should we do? Unless I rush out and make a scene, how can I possibly expose her?"
If she did that, she would also suffer. It would be unwise to hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt herself by eight hundred.
Lu Zhiran smiled softly, "Who says we have to make a scene? Just do the same as she replaced you, and everything will naturally be put right."
Xing Chuxue was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized.
Yes, she was the bride. She only needed to enter the bridal chamber smoothly, knock her sister unconscious, and then put on her wedding dress again, and everything would naturally return to its original place.
As for her sister, she would naturally return to where she came from.
"Baozhu has already gone to Prince An's Mansion to look after your sister. When the time comes, she will cooperate with us to accomplish this."
After hearing their careful arrangements, Xing Chuxue was immediately moved.
"I am so lucky to have such good friends like you."
Lu Zhiran smiled. She helped Xing Chuxue in this way not without selfish motives.
If they could use her to win over Prince An and make him serve Xiao Yanci, it would be another great help to them.
Ye Hanyi suddenly asked, "What about your sister? What are you planning to do?"
Xing Chuxue said, "Of course, I will send him back to the Xing family and let my parents deal with him."
Ye Hanyi frowned slightly, "She wants to steal your husband and maybe even kill you, and you're going to let her go so easily?"
Xing Chuxue's eyes widened in disbelief, "How could she want to kill me?"
Ye Hanyi asked calmly, "Do you know who is the best at keeping secrets?"
Xing Chuxue remained silent.
Ye Hanyi said to himself: "Dead man."
Xing Chuxue shuddered.
"Once she enters Prince An's mansion and establishes herself, she will inevitably become concerned that your presence will threaten her position. Only the dead can truly keep their mouths shut. If you are dead, no one will be able to expose her."
Xing Chuxue's face turned pale.
She shook her head subconsciously, "No, it's impossible. How is this possible? We are sisters after all!"
Ye Hanyi laughed at her naiveté, "The fact that your sister is willing to go through such a marriage swap shows how selfish she is and her character is questionable. Where is the bottom line for such a person? When she did this, she didn't treat you as a real sister. If you show her mercy, you will only face an even more fierce counterattack from her in the future."
She followed her father and grandfather since she was young, learning their skills of leading troops and controlling subordinates.
Don't think too highly of human nature, and don't be too kind to your enemies. This is a golden rule they taught her.
Lu Zhiran couldn't help but look at Ye Hanyi, and once again began to look at her with admiration.
Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.
She suffered enough in her previous life, so she grew in this life.
Ye Hanyi, although seemingly careless, is actually very meticulous. She has a scale in her heart for everything.
The Ye family is truly amazing, being able to raise such outstanding descendants.
Xing Chuxue still refused to believe it, "Father and Mother would never let her do that!"
She is also their daughter, they can't be so cruel and heartless to her.
Ye Hanyi looked at her and said seriously, "If no one discovers this, and your sister successfully uses someone else's trick to take the blame, your father and mother might initially feel guilty about you. But if your sister continues to use her eloquence and incites others, there's no guarantee your father won't make other choices to keep this secret. After all, when it comes to the future of the entire family, the life and death of a daughter is truly insignificant."
This is a cruel and blunt statement, but it is very likely to happen.
No emotion can stand the test.
Lu Zhiran also spoke up, "I think Han Yi is right. I'm afraid your sister has had murderous intentions towards you since she started planning this."
Xing Chuxue had already accepted the fact that she had been married off by her sister. Now, she had to accept the possibility that her family would join forces to silence her. This blow was too great for her. A strong emotion surged in her heart and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
It took her a long while to regain her composure. At this moment, there was a hint of different emotions in her eyes.
She is no longer as innocent and naive as before. She has grown up.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
"Even so, I won't kill her. I don't want to become like her, cold, cruel, and without any humanity. But from now on, I will no longer treat her as a sister. If she dares to plot against me again, next time, I will definitely show her no mercy."
After hearing this, Ye Hanyi and Lu Zhiran said no more.
They respected her choice.
This is the real her.
This is what makes her different from Xing Chuying. If she became like Xing Chuying, she would seem strange and scary.
Shuanghua stole a set of maid's clothes and asked Xing Chuxue to change into them. She also applied some makeup on her face. Then she followed Lu Zhiran and Ye Hanyi, left the Xing family openly, and went to Prince An's Mansion.
On this side, the bride had already arrived at Prince An's mansion, completed the wedding ceremony with Prince An, and was sent to the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, Prince An Xiao Yanheng used a bridal scale to lift the bride's veil.
